I knew it had to be something like this...

 

Hate to say I told you so, but..

I told you so

Way to jump to conclusions everyone, made you look smart.

 

ВИБАЧТЕ. ЦЕ БУЛО НЕПОРОЗУМІННЯ. НЕ СЕРДИТЕСЯ НА МЕНЕ

 

I'm quite happy to say I didn't pick up my pitch fork and don my hillbilly overalls and join in the lynching mob.

To be honest, knowing full well the hassles and hells they've gone thru to get STALKER out, I would have been *very* surprised to think they'd jeopardize any decent revenues by copyright infrigment.

 

"They're poor Ukranians, of course they stole content," quoted a less-than-rational observer.

Boo yah.

 

Well its just a shame Stalker is a piss-poor game nevertheless.

 

Yah, to you. You must play alot of GTA, or other terrible games that keep you from noticing what a good game is.

I'm still trying to figure out why ppl thought hl2 was great.

 

Ah good old standard textures, why didn't we think of that before accusations were made?

Link goes to forum, rather to this thread.

 

I've yet to play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and I am pleased to see this was all a big misunderstanding. As many have said GSC would have been making a huge gamble if they seriously left IP from 2 other companies in their game's final version.

That would be the dumbest thing they could've done.
